01] Jason Sinecki and his new wife Megan are out driving Jason’s dad’s 1966 Galaxy. They are from Saint Peters, Missouri.02] That’s part of a ’65 Mustang project that Craig Borden of Russellville, Kentucky, has been working on. He wants to see how fast he can go for less than $5,000. He’s thinking big-block. We agree.03] Loren Harris, owner of Blue Ridge Hot Rods (BRhotrods.com) in Staunton, Virginia, is seen mocking up the suspension on his ’57 Chevy.

04] Mark Dinsmore is working on his latest project: a ’30 Pontiac two-door sedan with a 389 and Tri-power. 05] Tom Temes and son Alec spend snowy days in Ohio building this Model A. At the moment, it has a Ford 302, AOD, and an 8.8 rearend. Other than the drivetrain, the car is being restored to original. 06] Danny Tyson of Asheboro, North Carolina, drug this ’65 Chevy van out of the woods three years ago. A friend did the airbrushing as a dedication to all things rock-’n’-roll, cuz when you think rock-’n’-roll, you think Albert Einstein.

07] Steven Close of Flushing, Michigan, says he hot rods everything. This is the bathroom his wife let him decorate. The towel rack is part of a steering wheel from a ’65 Ford Fairlane.08] Andrew Love of Suffield, Connecticut, sent us this photo of his ’42 Ford GPW with Model A rear fenders. It’s powered by a 327. 09] James Griffin of Fuquay, North Carolina, found a few interesting cars in a junkyard. We’ve seen weird things in junkyards, but never a Lamborghini.

10] David Belau of Klamath Falls, Oregon, sent us this photo of his three-year-old daughter Janelle helping him clean the K-member on his ’67 Barracuda. 11] That is Matt Greene of Tobaccoville, North Carolina, working on his ’57 Ford Fairlane. Matt owns Reaper Custom Fabrication (ReaperCustomFabrication.com). 12] That’s Scott Rigdon with his daughter working—or rather playing—with his Camaro.

13] Kenneth Radakovits of Morris, Illinois, said he was pulled over after leaving a local cruise night for, “excessive tail covering license plate.” Kenneth said, “Guilty as charged.” 14] James D. Smith of Oxford, New York, sent us this photo of his first car—a ’63 MG Midget—that his father gave him when he was 16. He says it wasn’t a hot rod in terms of power, but it was a fun little two-seater.
